Far de Favàritx, Lighthouse on Cap de Favàritx, Menorca, Spain.
The cylindrical concrete tower rises 28 meters high, featuring black and white spiral bands that mark its presence along the northeastern coast.
Built in 1922 after numerous shipwrecks on Menorca's north coast, including the 1906 accident of steamship Isaac Pereire, this lighthouse represents maritime safety improvements.
The lighthouse maintains a permanent exhibition of maritime signaling equipment, educating visitors about navigation systems through guided tours for schools and groups.
From June 1 to September 30, visitors can reach the lighthouse exclusively by bus L43 from Maò station, bicycle, or walking paths.
The structure stands on black slate cliffs within S'Albufera des Grau Natural Park, next to Cós des Síndic, a natural pool formed by sea storms.
